LeBron generates crisis in the Grizzlies, and rival makes outburst

ace of Grizzlies, bane left last Monday’s match, the 24th, against lakers irritated by the lack of tactical commitment from the team as a whole. He didn’t like the spaces that were given to LeBron Jamesespecially at the end of the fourth quarter, when the Los Angeles star broke free and secured the basket that took the match to overtime.

With LeBron James inspired, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies by 117 to 111 and the result left the Memphis team in a delicate situation. The aggregate is 3 to 1 and the rivals will be able to end the sequence in the next game, which is scheduled for Wednesday, 26, at 20:30 (Brasília time). This chaotic scenario worries Bane, who didn’t mince his words when talking about the defensive and tactical performance of his teammates.

According to the Grizzlies’ scoring in game four, where he scored 36 points, Memphis gave LeBron James a lot of room. He highlighted the various plays in which the number six of the Lakers managed to break through the block and score points. According to Bane, the team will need to regain confidence and, above all, improve the collective defensive game to avoid falling into the NBA playoffs.

“It always comes down to game plan discipline. I mean, LeBron has been really strong on the right since he came into the league 20 years ago. He takes the right hand and we have two guys on that side who are supposed to help each other and we don’t execute that. It’s that simple. Discipline in the game plan, we needed it for 48 minutes and the lack of it let us down“, he explained.
